This is the case I use and I got the VFD working using instructions  
from here:

setting_up_vfd_ir_sensor_zalman_hd160.html

I'm having a problem with SVN right now where once in a while,  
mythlcdserver will peg my processor and not let go. I haven't tracked  
down what the issue is, so I've just turned off the server for now,  
but it worked flawlessly with 0.20.
